Real Madrid v Alaves

Real Madrid vs Alaves Preview

Real Madrid continued their impressive start to this new La Liga season with a comprehensive 4-1 home win against Espanyol on the weekend, while Alaves also picked up three points by way of recording a 2-1 home win against Sevilla, so both sides will be keen to continue their winning momentum here at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu on Tuesday night.

Real Madrid still remain unbeaten after the opening six matches of the new Spanish top flight campaign having collected four wins within these six games which consists of victories gained over Real Valladolid, Real Betis, Real Sociedad and Espanyol along with points picked up in draws with Mallorca and Las Palmas.

However, these two aforementioned draws have placed the hosts in second place in the early La Liga standings where they trail their old rivals Barcelona by a four-point margin so it would be fair to say that Carlo Ancelotti's side will be eager to reduce this deficit by picking up all three points here on Tuesday night.

Results on home soil certainly suggest Real Madrid look to be in a strong position ahead of Tuesday night's clash as the hosts are unbeaten in their last 27 home games in La Liga along with keeping a total of 16 clean sheets as well.

Alaves picked up a third win in their opening six games of this new La Liga campaign on the weekend with a 2-1 home win against Sevilla which has helped the visitors up into sixth place in the La Liga table but Luis Garcia's side will face their biggest test yet in this new season when they make their way to the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu to take on Real Madrid.

Previous wins against Real Sociedad and Las Palmas have been offset by defeats suffered at the hands of Celta Vigo and Espanyol though as Alaves have produced a bit of a mixed bag of results so far in this new campaign.

Results away from home though have continued to let Alaves down as the visitors have managed to capture just two wins in their last 10 outings which came in the form of victories collected at Valencia and Real Sociedad but also includes being handed no fewer than six losses along the way as well.

Interestingly, five of Alaves' last 10 away games in La Liga have also seen the visitors fail to score as well, thus making this upcoming trip to face Real Madrid an even tougher assignment.

Real Madrid v Alaves Verdict

Real Madrid have won each of the last five meetings on the trot against Alaves and the last three encounters have also seen Real Madrid keep clean sheets as well, so the prospects of a home win to nil for Real Madrid look promising.
